day 376: [奎屯 (Kuytun)] = 0 km

Since we had nothing better to do, 辉辉 (Huihui) and 雷晟 (Lei Cheng) took me to the mountains today.

It was very nice and relaxing:

I fell asleep a bunch of times on the warm and fragrant grass, and the rest of the time we amused ourselves taking pictures:

And I felt…

…like there wasn’t a single worry in the air:

It was just laughter…

…and the hazy notion that good times always pass to quickly.

We stopped to capture a few time lapses:

And I fell asleep every time. So nice!

Only when we finally made our way back down to the valley I realized…

…that I had like ten messages on the phone. They were all missed calls from 王先生 (Mr. Wang) from the police in 乌苏. The department had apparently lost track of me and got very excited.

I decided to call him back.

“Where are you??” he asked, and I had to laugh a little.

“王先生, don’t worry, I am in the mountains with my friends!”

“What? I can’t hear you!”

“I am in the MOUNTAINS, it is very BEAUTIFUL up here!”

“Ah…where will you go next?”

“Well, home I guess.”

And that was that.
